HUD's zoning responsibilities include which areas?

• A. Zoning (residential/commercial/mixed)
• B. Issuing driver's licenses
• C. Regulating food labeling
• D. Managing city street cleaning

Answer: (A)

Zoning is a land-use planning tool that determines what kinds of development can occur in different parts of a community, such as residential, commercial, or mixed-use zones. HUD focuses on housing and urban development, guiding policies and funding to support affordable housing, community development, and fair housing. Because zoning shapes where people can live and how neighborhoods grow, it fits within HUD’s broader mission, even though the actual zoning decisions are typically handled by local governments. In contrast, issuing driver's licenses is the responsibility of state motor vehicle agencies, regulating food labeling is managed by health and safety agencies like the FDA or USDA, and city street cleaning is a municipal service. So the area HUD covers related to zoning is residential, commercial, and mixed-use zoning.
